Overview
In 1910 a paddle steamer called the Emeraude was offering unforgettable cruises in Halong Bay for
visitors to what was then French Indochina. The Emeraude was part of a flotilla owned by the Roque
family who had left Bordeaux in 1858 in search of adventure and fortune. Today the Emeraude offers
a regular cruise services on board a luxurious replica steamer with 38 cabins meticulously designed to
evoke the nostalgic charm of colonial Indochina. The majestic beauty of the bay and its islands is only
fully appreciated while meandering among the islands, fjords and inlets. After a night on board the
Emeraude, passengers awaken to see daylight filtering through the early morning mist and the
towering rock formations, leaving them with a dream-like memory of their visit to Halong Bay.
